Re: How old are you?

I guess I can get that Miba, I generally hate being in the middle of the spotlight too. That said, it IS your birthday, I mean I guess you earned it being....born, and everything. Enjoy it while you can before all of us start being afraid of adding one more number instead of looking forward to it.

However, my birthday usually ensures that people pay as little attention to me as possible, and may even trump Seco's concessions stand for Worst Birthday Occurrence Ever:

Re: How old are you?

Ouch. But, thats no excuse for people to not pay attention to you. Yes, it was a bad day. Yes, a lot of people died. But, the dead wouldn't want us to spend the entire day sad for them. They'd want us to go on with our lives, and celebrate the happy.

I don't get why you wouldn't want a lot of people paying attention to you. Due to a severe lack of friends, pretty much the only birthday wishes and presents I get are...from my folks. And my partys tend to be cake and icecream with the folks, open a present or two and thats it. I'd kill to have something more then that.

Re: How old are you?

Well as far as staying away from the spotlight it was easy; I mean you could have the principle mention your birthday on the morning announcements, but on 9/11 it was always "Today is the X anniversary of the horrible...." etc etc, and he'd always forget, so I could kind of just fade away. Or would have been able to, if I didn't have friends who'd go down to the office and be like "Listen G, our boy's got a birthday, get your **** together!" Ever since I joined in this fellowship of mischievous deviants I love and call "my boys" (so if I say that, it does NOT mean I got some girl pregnant and am now a father of 2+ kids), it's become impossible to ignore. They're just crazy like that.

This kinda fills in for the birthday thread, green. And I don't think you need to add another topic to the rest of the 50 bajillion you've already made.

I'm a teenager, and my birthday isn't until September 21st, which is pretty close to 9/11 too, SciFi. Luckily, people aren't all like "This day is the anniversary of the worst day in the history of America" and all of that stuff, so my birthday is still not all sad and gloomy.

It must have been really weird for you to have 9/11 happen right on your birthday...

"None of this is really happening. There is a man. With a typewriter. This is all part of his crazy imagination."
